12 Revolutionary Strategies to Nurture Your Child's Developing Mind: Survive Everyday Parenting Struggles, and Help Your Family Thrive. In this pioneering, practical book, Daniel J. Siegel, neuropsychiatrist and author of the bestselling Mindsight, and parenting expert Tina Payne Bryson demystify the meltdowns and aggravation, explaining the new science of how a childâ€™s brain is wired and how it matures. The â€śupstairs brain,â€ť which makes decisions and balances emotions, is under construction until the mid-twenties. And especially in young children, the right brain and its emotions tend to rule over the logic of the left brain. No wonder kids can seemâ€”and feelâ€”so out of control. By applying these discoveries to everyday parenting, you can turn any outburst, argument, or fear into a chance to integrate your childâ€™s brain and foster vital growth. Raise calmer, happier children using twelve key strategies. Dr. Siegel is also the author of The Mindful Brain and The Developing Mind.
